Things could get very windy over the weekend

Carlow Weather is forecasting a very windy weekend ahead, with Subtropical Storm Ernesto apparently on it's way towards Ireland.

The storm has recently formed over the north Atlantic and it's set to reach us on Saturday night.

Thankfully it's not predicted to be too damaging with rain and some relatively strong breezes being predicted.

Here's hoping we don't get it too bad!

Especially not on Sunday.
